A O and M O Anderson (ms38633)

The Andersons were a married couple of historians and palaeographers, based in St Andrews. Marjorie Ogilvie Anderson was born in St Andrews and after gaining an English degree at Oxford, she returned North to work as researcher for Alan Orr Anderson when his eyesight began to fail. They later married in 1932.

The collection contains correspondence, research notes, Latin word lists, copies of texts, books on palaeography and facsimiles of manuscripts. A large number of early cameras, glass plate negatives and photographs were transferred to the care of the Photographic Department.
